Letter from the Editor: Cha Ching!
By Leslie Moore
I received this link in an e-mail recently, www.globalrichlist.com. You enter your income, and it tells you where you rank, richest to poorest, in the world’s population. I was shocked to find out I am in the top three percent! And, I am definitely not wealthy by any of the standards I’ve used to measure financial abundance throughout my life. But, billions of people on our planet would say that I am. Actually, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about money – unless there is something I want to buy that (many times) I can not afford. But, I’ve never been without anything I needed; I’ve never been hungry, cold or homeless. My loved ones have always had good health care, and we’ve all had access to a good education. For many people in the world, these are unreachable goals, and I’ve not just had them, but taken them without any gratitude or appreciation for the enormity of my good fortune. After my visit to this website, I feel a good deal richer than before and have come closer to understanding that abundance is, indeed, a matter of perception.
Abundance is, in large part, an attitude.
